This is ofc personally biased, but damn I find it to be rubbish compared to the human.

Sentry turret: -_-
Weak sauce, the combat drone is a mobile version with added effects. 
Also the fact that you deploy it like a grenade is less than desirable, you want a turret right on the spot where you need it.
This thing needs a buff, increased fire rate would be welcome.

Incinerate::devil:
Awsome, just like the human counterpart it hits like a truck, maxed it murders unprotected foes.

Cryo blast:-_-
What is the point of this thing? incinerate incapacitates its target too and kills it while doing so.

I found this character useless, I buffed the turret with rocks and it sucks, it keep getting shot down with a couple bullets

yeah true, the quarian engeneer is weaker then the others, still its a quarian so i have to play with it ;)

cryo blast has its uses especially against stronger and fast moving enemies, at least once you get their shields/barriers down or as crowd control in general and i guess when on the full game you get different kinds of enemies who might have less shields and more armour it might be more usefull but true enough i would prefer overload or shield drain

the turret is indead a lot weaker then the drone

still, its a quarian ;)

Also, the drone can be a rocket drone at its final evolution. lol

I think the gist here is actually don't go with the Quarian. Personally, I'm sure it can work, like any other class. I admit incinerate and cryo blast seem kinda redundant, but the turret can be just as useful as the drone. It'd be good to know, though, which has better stats through shields/armor/firepower.

I actually like the turret placement vs drone, but it could do with more damage.

Just give us the same turret cerberus has, I'm sure that's fair*


*To me.

since it doesn't move i went with the rockets cause few targets will be close to it, more will be far away.

as for the guy saying don't go with the quarian engi at all, i still end up top of my team every match with the quarian engi, now i know that prob says a lot more about random teams then about me but it also means the quarian engi is not useless

p.s. don't ever go with cryo ammo, with anny class, you ll be useless against shielded targets as you don't dmg them with cryo rounds, best rounds ever: ap rounds as they go trough the big shield a guardian carries like a knife trough butter

I agree it seems a little undepowered compared to the Human, but ill still use it.

(If I can even unlock it on my Xbox that is)

Its deliberately made weak because its going to be the most played race in multiplayer. Every inbred Taliwanker and his sister and pig (the same person) will be picking it, so some counterbalancing is necessary.

... Was that really necessary?

I dont think it will be the most played race, they look ridiculous when they hop around.

Agree with the sentry turret, making it mobile might help but then its just a copy of the drone. The cryo blast is, i've found at least, incredibly useful at times. Freeze a target and then just blast away for a few seconds. They die and you take no damage. Pretty much my bread and butter when im playing my quarian.

You could also put most of your points into cryo and incinerate to get the freeze combo that allows your incinerate to do double damage to frozen/chilled targets. I'll probably just do that since turret is only useful when it is fully upgraded.

Don't think the sentry turret is supposed to be overly powerful. It's used to divert enemy fire like the combat drone but has more punch when hitting enemies in a certain area. The combat drone however has less punch but can travel around an area and follow enemies. Depends what situation your in.

In the SP demo the flamethrower sentry turret was an absolute beast. I would guess maxing incinerate with a few points in cryo blast is good so you can combo the two with incinerate's frozen/chilled target upgrade.
I haven't played MP yet but the human and quarian engineers look like they're worth trying out. I just hope there will be a male quarian option after release.

you can't play all races the same way even if it's the same class some seem to be better suited for some clasess than others.

It's *ok* when you add flamethrowers to it - Since you can more or less spam it, It can be useful to toss into a group. It will get off a shot or two before it dies (these things are seriously weak, and I chose every +shields option available for it), but you can just toss it again.

That said, barring any changes, In retail I will max out cryo+incinerate, given that level 6 incinerate can do double damage against a frozen target.

I think the same thing, I would rather upgrade and use the Drone than the turret.

Best IMO

Adept = Human
Engineer = Human
Sentinel = Turian
Soldier = Turian
Vanguard = Drell
Infiltrator = Either Salarian or Quarian. I can't decide between the two of them.

Just got it yesterday, but I made it work OK.
Turret isn't a damage dealer, just an annoyance/distraction.
Incinerate = good.
Cryo blast is good for crowd control.

The recharge time on her powers is good, though, I just use a pistol SMG and I have, like, +135% recharge rate.

I'm pretty disappointed to hear the turret isn't on the same level as the Cerberus counterpart but hey give enough feed back and maybe they'll notice right? Either way i'd still get the Quarian Engineer, love them Quarians!
